Company patents
BOA Technology, Inc.
BOA Technology, Inc.'s patent strategy reveals a surprising diversification into medical devices, with Implants & Prosthetics accounting for a significant 22.5% of its portfolio, despite a recent decline of 71.4% in 2025 and 50.0% so far in 2026. While Footwear remains its largest category at 28.2%, the rapid 100.0% growth in Material Handling (Sheets, Webs) in 2024 suggests a brief but intense focus on manufacturing processes, though this has since shifted dramatically with a 100.0% decline in 2025.
